00:00Now, I'm not saying this is the reason the Niners have been lousy this year, but I gotta
00:08tell you, it just feels like more of a coincidence, uh, or less of a coincidence than you think.
00:14The three, and I haven't, I haven't brought this up in a while.
00:17I guess this is my Super Bowl.
00:21When I bring this stuff up.
00:22Let's put the rats on the table.
00:25Rats.
00:26Three of them.
00:27Plural, okay.
00:29Trent Williams, Brandon Aiyu, Christian McCaffrey.
00:34The three guys who got you for money over the offseason.
00:42One guy's been hurt all year, one guy just got hurt, and the other guy.
00:48Well, at this point he's out there playing.
00:52Oh yeah, he's available, right?
00:53Is he best left tackle of all time?
00:56This guy, Trent Williams?
00:57Well, I don't know how they grade.
00:59I'm just telling you, he's the best of what you got up front.
01:03And all of a sudden, you called me crazy and some were in denial, but Stiney, I'm noticing
01:07every, game by game, more batted balls from Brock Purdy at the line of scrimmage.
01:12And I know it's football that happens, but I just feel like teams are starting to implement
01:16it.
01:17Like they're looking for that.
01:18But I wish that was part of the reason he had three interceptions.
01:21But are you telling me early on, Andy Reid, after a bye, they go ultra aggressive, they
01:27try to fake punt, it gets stopped, the Niners got the ball on the Chiefs 45 yard line, and
01:35bam, Brock Purdy throws a horrific interception.
01:39Like Stiney, I'm not used to that Brock Purdy.
01:42And again, that started as soon as the game started, almost like it did with the Arizona
01:48Cardinal game.
01:49But I mean, the defense for a while of this game, Stiney played or kept you in it.
01:56It kept you in it.
01:57But the offense is putrid.
02:00And I would just like to ask people, is this all of a sudden now just a byproduct of not
02:05having McCaffrey?
02:07Because now it's gone into Brandon Ayuk, you can no longer be the whipping boy.
02:13You are out for the season, and we hate it.
02:16But at the end of the day, I need to know what's going on with the reads from Brock
02:21Purdy or Stiney.
02:22Is it just the receivers can't beat man coverage?
02:26You don't win as much in the last five years if it were that.
02:30So I think it's some of that, but it's got to be some of what Brock's not doing.
02:35He can't just skate like Nancy Kerrigan.
02:41You all tell me the reason why.
02:43I'm just looking at the numbers.
02:45Purdy's completion percentage, lower than the previous two years.
02:50His touchdown percentage, way lower than the last two years.
02:54He's thrown more interceptions.
02:56He's got nine touchdown passes and seven picks.
03:00I mean, that's that's pedestrian in any league.
03:04So is it his fault?
03:05Well, it's partly his fault at the very least.
03:09Can't not be any of his fault.
03:11And now you're in a situation where, and this is, you know, with every loss, it becomes
03:18more magnified.
03:19Right.
03:20Oh, you know, Brock Purdy's really good.
03:21OK, he's really good.
03:22Right.
03:23But you're three and four.
03:24You're three and four.
03:26So what what do you do?
03:28And is he I'm asking, is his really good, good enough to win?
03:33Well, it's funny.
03:34It's funny because it had been.
03:35It was plenty before, apparently.
03:39He's not a great quarterback, not a top five.
03:41That's all right.
03:42He's still really good.
03:43And we can win a Super Bowl with him.
03:45Maybe you can.
03:46But I don't know about with this team and the people that are surrounding him.
03:49He was awful yesterday.
03:50Eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, seven, zero.
03:53Let's go to let's start out with Logan in Sebastopol.
03:58What's going on, Logan?
03:59How you doing, man?
04:00What's up, Dying Guru?
04:01Thanks for having me on.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Help us out, man.
04:04Yeah.
04:05So I was at I was at Levi's Stadium yesterday and it was my first time ever at a Niners
04:11game.
04:12Oh, all right.
04:13So, yeah, this was not a good one to start it with.
04:16And I just want to talk about the general vibe up there.
04:18OK, section 413, the nosebleeds, everybody was angry up there, man.
04:23I mean, we were ready for cathartic revenge after being beat by these chiefs.
04:28And like you said, they just didn't meet the moment.
04:32And for the first time, I really, really questioned Brock.
04:35And yeah, it was embarrassing, ugly.
04:38Thanks for the call, Logan.
04:40They were hot in the nosebleeds.
04:42Yeah.
04:43So were the Chiefs sideline.
04:44They had the backup offensive lineman, you know, normally they had a report during the
04:47game.
04:48I don't know if you saw it.
04:49The visiting teams, when the sun's out, they have like a tent to block the sun.
04:53Chiefs have the backup O-lineman block the sun.
04:55Sonny, I don't know if you got that.
04:57But at the end of the day, man, I just can't get over how putrid Patrick Mahomes day was
05:03just from a number standpoint, two interceptions and you couldn't, you couldn't win that game.
05:12And you're right.
05:1328 to 18 is lipstick on a pig.
05:15Was it ever really that close?
05:16But Kyle Shanahan had a, hey, do you Evan and I got into it before the show started
05:21the chance to tie the game and he elected to kick an extra point, which they missed.
05:26But I'm like, you can't be, you know, well, what if they score?
05:29What if they don't score?
05:30You got a chance and you're down, you're injured, you're hurt.
05:33Whatever.
05:34Now you got a chance to tie the game, be aggressive.
05:38And that blew up in their face that obviously, you know, with the kicker, miss an extra point.
05:42But Stani, I just would like, and I need your help all throughout this weekend.
05:46And the listeners, who do you blame and where do you go from here?
05:51Because I thought Brock Purdy was enough to have.
05:56That's enough to win a game.
05:57Well not against the Sanford, not against the Chiefs.
06:01Like what do we do?
06:02I didn't see the Chiefs yesterday though.
06:04Chiefs are good.
06:05And like, I'm not saying they're not, but that wasn't their A game.
06:09I don't think Mahomes was putrid.
06:11I just absolutely don't.
06:13But the numbers.
06:14But that's my point.
06:16If they're throwing the ball down, up and down the field and they get to the five and
06:20then they run it in, like who cares if he doesn't have any touchdown passes?
06:25He's getting them down there.
06:27They're cashing in.
06:28They had four touchdown runs.
06:31That's all that matters, is they get down there with the pass and then they're able
06:34to punch it in any way possible.
06:36But you were able to get him to turn it over twice, OK?
06:39Not when it mattered.
06:40And you didn't do anything with it.
06:42Yeah.
06:43And we talked all week about the Chiefs defense.
06:46Chiefs defense is better than the Niners defense.
06:48They said, you ain't beating us on the ground and we're going to make you beat us through
06:52the air and they didn't.
06:54And we saw what happened.
06:55I mean, as far as Kyle Shanahan goes, I know everybody thinks that when you assess Kyle
07:02Shanahan, you either love him or you hate him.
07:05But I texted you guys.
07:10To me, his play calling is like, impatient.
07:15It feels like he never, it's just not good enough for him to put a 10 or 11 play drive
07:21together with six or seven runs.
07:25Maybe it's because they couldn't run the ball.
07:27But I feel like they just are going for too many quick fixes and they're not paying the
07:36price on offense by running the ball more and getting into third and three where they
07:43have more opportunity instead of third and eight.
07:47But look, they didn't do anything really well yesterday and Kyle Shanahan didn't either.
07:54888-957-9570.
07:55Let's go to Steve in San Francisco.
08:00Hey, Steve, what's going on, man?
08:02By the way, Warriors season opener Wednesday.
08:05Yeah, right.
08:06At least we got that.
08:08A lot of things to get to.
08:10I'm glad you brought up Shanahan.
08:12I understand the injuries.
08:14I know that he had a horrible game, but I think he's allowed one or two of those.
08:21The only other game that he's had like that was the Baltimore game in his entire career.
08:25He's really, really not, that's not his style of game.
08:28Now, that aside, because you can't discount the interceptions that broke their back.
08:34We're seeing the same stuff week after week and that's where it comes back to Shanahan.
08:39They just seem like they've never found their footing, even in victories here.
08:45They're not stringing together those drives that they normally do.
08:48They're relying on bigger splash plays to get those scores.
08:51Yesterday, one of the biggest, most disheartening things to me was just seeing a team that just
08:57came out so lethargic, uninspired, unprepared, and seemed just defeated on arrival.
09:05You can even tell in the leading up to the game, they go, oh, well, it's not like it's
09:11the Super Bowl and we can't get back that.
09:13Totally understand that and that's factually accurate, but then are you just going into
09:17this game thinking that it's an afterthought?
09:19Yeah, you can't get the Super Bowl back, but in reality, this was an opportunity to take
09:23down the top team in the league that's undefeated, recourse correct your season.
09:29It seemed like that opportunity was completely lost on them.
09:32They just, top to bottom, they seemed like they didn't want to be there.
09:36That was the biggest development that I saw was a problem yesterday.
09:40And then otherwise, you see the exact same things played in them week after week.
09:44Terrible specialties, probably the worst in the league, an offense that can't convert
09:49third down to red zone, and a defense that they played a little bit better yesterday,
09:53they still can't get off the field when they need a stop or they need a conversion.
09:59They can't do that.
10:02That's been an issue in blowing the game to Arizona against the Rams.
10:06And I go back to coaching.
10:08That all trickles down for me to Chanahan, there's mistakes, but I mean, this team does
10:13not look prepared to play, and yesterday it was abundantly apparent.
10:17Yeah, I appreciate it.
10:19And I'll say this to that, Stiney, I'm not putting this at the doorstep of the defense.
10:24I'm not.
10:25Were they perfect?
10:26No.
10:27And when you look at the stats and you look at the game early on, you felt like the Niners
10:30made the Chiefs offense feel them, right?
10:32There was a reason Mahomes turned it over twice, but going into this game, the Chiefs
10:36had been lousy on third down.
10:38Stiney, they were eight of 14 season high.
10:41Then you talk about the red zone.
10:43They were hurting in the red zone coming into this game.
10:46You know what they wore yesterday in the red zone, the Chiefs?
10:48Four of five.
10:49The Niners were two of 11.
10:52Those are the money downs on third down.
10:55The bank has not been open, and I'm sitting here checking myself right now.
11:00I'm going to slow down.
11:01Oh, Brock's getting 50-60.
11:02Nobody wants to talk about it.
11:04Stiney, he's throwing money away.
11:06He is throwing money away because this thing looked like you showing up and quarterbacking
11:11was enough.
11:12And I said it.
11:14So now I'm just, I'm telling you, I don't know what to make, how much to pay.
11:19Today's not the day, but we got to call Brock Purdy out for not meeting the moment two of
11:26the last three games.
11:27I said it.
11:28I do not.
11:30And that looked like Jimmy stuff yesterday, Stiney.
11:33And the recidivist DBs are like, oh, the ball?
11:36The ball?
11:37It's like he was off.
11:39And we need, if we can't do it, Stiney, to ask the right questions, why?
11:45Yeah, I just, you know, that's a pass.
11:51Well, that's another.
11:52Go ahead.
11:53I'm just looking at the other side of the ball.
11:55That's why I think when we say, oh, Purdy, not Purdy, Mahomes was not very good.
12:00Really?
12:01Wow.
12:02They were eight for 14 on third down and they were four for five in the red zone with touchdowns.
12:07It's like, I don't, I don't care about the numbers.
12:10The numbers matter less when you can't stop the chiefs on a third down.
12:19I mean, you know, it's like a guy who a guy who's seven for 17 going into the fourth quarter
12:26and then he has a big fourth quarter.
12:29Would you call this a slump for Purdy?
12:31If I said if we just focus on the last three games, the one against Arizona, you lost your
12:35two picks.
12:36Balls got tipped and then you come out against, you know, the guy that you want to beat, the
12:42team that you have.
12:43And I'm not saying Brock was the reason you lost the sole reason.
12:46But Stiney, he's playing different.
12:48Give me that.
12:49He doesn't have as good a team around him.
12:52He just doesn't.
12:53Well, he doesn't.
12:54All right.
12:55No.
12:56You know what?
12:57And I'm not going to argue that I can't.
12:58But can we just real quick here before you grab another call, Stiney, I come to work
13:04and I don't come to work.
13:05And you know what?
13:06I don't come to work is when I don't feel good.
13:08I have to make a decision.
13:10I got to make a decision about the other people.
13:13You know what?
13:14What's up?
13:15Wow.
13:16We all know about Thursday.
13:17Dude, you little mother.
13:18Hey, no.
13:19Listen, you know if you're playing or not.
13:20He tried.
13:21What do you mean?
13:22Tried.
13:23Did they pop Warner?
13:24Ronnie Lott had to cut a pinky off half of it to play.
13:25You're either in or you're out.
13:26That didn't help anybody.
13:27And then you become a sideshow.
13:28You're going to play or not.
13:29What happened to you?
13:30You're either in or you're out.
13:31You're either in or you're out.
13:32You're either in or you're out.
13:33You're either in or you're out.
13:34You're either in or you're out.
13:35You're either in or you're out.
13:36You're either in or you're out.
13:37You're either in or you're out.
13:38You're either in or you're out.
13:39You're either in or you're out.
13:40You're either in or you're out.
13:41You're either in or you're out.
13:42You're either in or you're out.
13:43You're either in or you're out.
13:44You're either in or you're out.
13:45You're either in or you're out.
13:46You're either in or you're out.
13:47You're either in or you're out.
13:48You're either in or you're out.
13:49You're either in or you're out.
13:50You're either in or you're out.
13:51You're either in or you're out.
13:52You're either in or you're out.
13:53You're either in or you're out.
13:54You're either in or you're out.
13:55You're either in or you're out.
13:56You're either in or you're out.
13:58And that's what this looks like.
14:00By the time McCaffrey comes back, the Jawan Jennings didn't play.
14:05Like, Scotty, when does it end, man?
14:07That's why…
14:08Why would you think it's going to end if they're not a good team?
14:10I'm not pointing the finger.
14:11I just told you and it's growing now.
14:13Maybe this just is not the year.
14:15And it started with McCaffrey.
14:17The whole stuff with the money.
14:19But Devo said…
14:21So, what was the…
14:22He tried to play and he was sick.
14:24So, you had a bug?
14:25I don't know.
14:26I just know that he tried.
14:28What did he play?
14:29Three plays?
14:30Yeah.
14:32Oh, man.
14:34Oh, man.
14:35Paul Implezanton.
14:36Hey, Paul.
14:37What's going on, my man?
14:39Hey, guys.
14:40Thanks for taking my call.
14:42Just wanted to make a couple of points.
14:44I think it's just time to accept that Shanahan and now the quarterback
14:51are like the 2020s version of like Tony Dungy and Manning going against the big bad,
14:57you know, Kansas City Chiefs who are like the 2020s version of the Patriots.
15:02So, if you recall, right, I mean, the Colts got lucky one year.
15:06They beat – they were down in the championship game and still managed to beat the Pats.
15:11And then they faced, like, I think Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl.
15:14If you – I would definitely find a way to, like, you know, give Purdy the contract.
15:19Take, like, a four- to five-year time frame.
15:21Maybe we got lucky.
15:22We faced, like, a subpar opponent and win the big one.
15:26That's point number one.
15:27Point number two is on, you know, Shanahan, I think now this is – I've called air on other shows
15:32multiple times, but his biggest, like, deficiency is his arrogance, right?
15:37And that arrogance shows up in his inability to, like, ad lib and, you know, change on the fly.
15:43I think one of the amazing stats I saw on the previous show is that he is 0-40 when trailing by eight points in fourth quarter.
15:52And I think since he's been here, we're the only team that has not won a game in that scenario, right?
15:58I think if you're going to be a Super Bowl – I used to live in New England back in the Patriots days.
16:03There were multiple times they came back, you know, with deficits in fourth quarter.
16:09You've got to have the ability to come back.
16:11And you can't come back, you know, if you're so arrogant in your play-calling.
16:15So, thanks for taking my call.
16:18Appreciate the call, Paul.
16:20Yeah.
16:21What does arrogant in play-calling mean?
16:24Maybe going – you know, when you're having success on the ground, like they've been in previous games,
16:29I think of the RAND game, and you go to passing because, I don't know, Stani, maybe you just – you want to do it all.
16:37But to me, it's when you ignore the rhythm of the game, the algorithm.
16:40When you know that the run is working, why do anything else?
16:44Well, let me tell you where the run does not work.
16:46In the low red zone.
16:48How many times do they hand the ball off to Mason and he gets a yard?
16:53That happened.
16:54They just cannot run the ball in from, you know, inside the ten.
17:00And the time they did, like, that was Kyle's best play of the game.
17:05The quarterback sneaked a purdy where the guys blocked in a weird angle and it left the middle wide open.
17:11Like, I remember, I watched that play and I said to my boy Dane, I was like, that was interesting.
17:17That was different.
17:18Like, that didn't look like a regular quarterback sneak.
17:20And then, of course, Brady broke it down and it was a little bit complicated, but it obviously worked and he got in easily there.
17:30I mean, Mason can't find the end zone in there.
17:33And then you get tricky fourth downs.
17:38You got to figure out whether to go for it, not go for it.
17:41They almost didn't get the field goal at the end of the half.
17:43Yeah, that would have been the second week in a row, but they did get it.
17:45But I mentioned for the Chiefs, Donnie, how this was a season best on third down in red zone.
17:51And they also held the ball for 35 minutes.
17:55Page out of Kyle's book.
17:57Christine in Danville.
17:59Hey.
18:00Hey, Christine.
18:01How you doing?
18:02I'm good.
18:03How are you guys this morning?
18:04Trying to figure it out.
18:05Hey.
18:06Trying to figure it out.
18:07Well, I've been a Niner fan a long time.
18:10And not that I think I know everything, but I just think Shanahan's been outcoached this season.
18:18You know, everyone's saying he's an offensive guru.
18:22Did we not have second and one and we ran it two times and couldn't get a first down?
18:27I think the first time there was a called rollout for Purdy was in the third quarter and it worked.
18:33We got like five, six yards on that play.
18:35If we're not playing well, he's got to call different things.
18:38And it doesn't have to be complicated.
18:40It can be simple.
18:41But it's just too predictable.
18:44He can't run the clock.
18:47I just think he needs some therapy.
18:50Christine, let me run this by you.
18:52Just hearing your passion, young lady.
18:54So we know what Patrick Mahomes is to the NFL.
18:58He's the standard at the quarterback position.
19:00Brock Purdy's emerging.
19:02But why against yesterday's game would Brock Purdy have more pass attempts than Patrick Mahomes?
19:09Now hearing you talk, I'm like, that's wrong already.
19:14Why would Kyle have Brock throw it more than the standard of Patrick Mahomes?
19:20And oh, by the way, Christine, as you know, three interceptions in those 31 pass attempts.
19:25Why not run it more?
19:27Just a thought.
19:29I agree.
19:30I still think Mason's not quite right.
19:33I think he should have gone to the rookies more, see if they could get something going.
19:38And he didn't.
19:39He didn't.
19:40And he did the last game.
19:42So I don't know why he didn't keep pushing the running game if Purdy was struggling.
19:47But whatever he tried, it wasn't working.
19:50And it just seems like he's standing on the sidelines frustrated, just like we're all frustrated.
19:55And it's like, well, you've got to do something different to spark the offense.
20:00And he didn't do it again.
20:02Thanks, Christine.
20:03Appreciate the call.
20:04And, Stani, here I go.
20:06I know it's overreaction Monday.
20:08I am not trying to troll.
20:10But if I'm Isaac Garindo and I close that game out in Seattle, what a nice run for the team and myself.
20:18My reward is one carry.
20:20You realize he fumbled on that carry.
20:22No, I didn't.
20:23Yes, he fumbled.
20:24And it went out of bounds.
20:25But it's about trust, though, Stani.
20:27Exactly.
20:28So you run him and he fumbles.
20:31I'm just saying.
20:32They didn't lose the fumble.
20:34But he wasn't in the plans.
20:37One carry.
20:40Mason, 14 carries.
20:41Purdy, 8.
20:43How many of those were sneaks?
20:44A couple.
20:45So he took off maybe five or six times.
20:48Juszczyk, one carry for 14.
20:50Do you understand where I'm at or where I'm coming from when I say I put more of the blame on the offense and coaching than I do on the defense?
20:57Stani, the defense was—I mean, they were making it difficult.
21:00Yeah, they ran the ball and hunt.
21:0222 carries for 78 yards.
21:04And they averaged 4.7 to pop.
21:06But if you watch that game, even into the third quarter, when the Niners—when you felt like, oh, my God, they got action.
21:12They might pull this out.
21:14I can't put it all at the defense's doorstep.
21:16They tired, yes.
21:18But offensively is what is really blowing me away about this team.
21:23And now you have no Brandon Ayuk.
21:27Debo has—what do you call it?
21:30The flu.
21:32I just—I don't know where this thing is going.
21:35Kansas City had 184 rushing yards.
21:38So, I mean, that's close to gashing at that point.
21:43A couple big plays, obviously, from Hardman.
21:46Kareem Hunt was good all day.
21:48Mahomes made everything happen when he needed to before he rushing.
21:52Not Marvin—yeah, that's bad.
21:54Noah Gray, Stani.
21:56Yeah, I mean, look, I think there's a couple things going on.
21:59One is I think they're just not—their personnel is just not the same.
22:07Well, damn.
22:08And nobody's going to want to hear this today.
22:10And I'm the guy who says you got to play with who you got to play with.
22:14But if you're not playing with Hargrave, Ayuk, McCaffrey, Greenlaw, and Jennings against the Kansas City Chiefs,
22:23what are you really expecting out there?
22:25Then what about what the Chiefs are doing with their list of injuries?
22:29Well, they have a quarterback named Patrick Mahomes.
22:31And he was the difference in the game yesterday.
22:34But when are we going to—OK.
22:35Period.
22:36And he's Michael Jordan and Steph Curry.
22:38So we don't have a Steph Curry or a Michael Jordan.
22:42Well, for a little bit, didn't you think we do in regard to Brock Purdy?
22:46No, I would never compare Mahomes and Purdy.
22:49Mahomes has three Superboros.
22:51Exactly.
22:52But that's the point is Mahomes yesterday beat you when he didn't have it.
22:57He made the plays.
22:58That's what great players do.
23:01Period.
23:02But the Niners are supposed to be a great team, a good team.
23:05And of all the five in a row you lost to Kansas City, this was the nastiest I believe Kansas City played.
23:11And you still couldn't beat them.
